pinned on my inspiration board
this quote reminds me so much of a book I just finished with
one of my reading groups. If you've never read Pictures of Hollis Woods
by Patricia Reilly Giff, get yourself a copy! It's an amazing story!
Pictures of Hollis Woods
In the novel Hollis Woods is a foster child who is currently living
with artist Josie Cahill (and she battles with some early Alzheimer's).
The chapters alternate between present time and Hollis's past with
the Regan family (the foster family who planned to adopt her
until something happened to change things).
Sooo long story short the friend quote above reminds me
of Josie and Hollis (and Beatrice)...
If you teach this book in your class
(or just read it at home), there is a Hallmark
movie that follows the book very closely...
The cutest thing with my reading groups at school is
that they are convinced that they are in a "book club"
not a reading intervention class! I am so happy that
they are falling in love with some great novels this year:)
happy Sunday!
